What are the Purpose of Group Discussion & Personal Interview?

The purpose of Group Discussion (GD) and Personal interview (PI) is to get to know the student and gauge how well he matches the profile desired by the institute.
The Group Discussion tests how one functions as a part of a team. As a manager, you will always be working in teams - either as a member or as a leader. Therefore, how you interact in a team becomes an important criterion for selection. The Personal Interview is a personality test. In an interview, the panel looks for a sound .grasp of academics, self-awareness, clarity of goals, and a well-rounded personality.
The institute assesses whether the candidate exhibits the qualities of a good manager. In a GD, these qualities are revealed by participation in the group. In an interview, the panel deduces these qualities from their answers.
